Q6. What have you learned about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

For making my horror film, I used a number of technologies to help me with my finial out come. I first started by creating a survey where I wanted to find out what type of horror films do the audience watch/like. From the results of the survey, I produced a presentation on Prezi brainstorming my ideas for my horror film opening sequence. I added YouTube videos of some existing horror film openings to add to my ideas. I also created a Production Company logo on Photoshop 'Woodland Studios'. The name was inspired from the idea of filming our opening horror sequence in a forest.

We used a video recorder to film our opening horror sequence. Some of the footage in our film is handheld because we wanted to get into the point of view of the character. The scene with the flashback is when we used a tripod to shoot. We wanted to make the flashback clear to the audience. We also used the tripod to film the panning shot because we wanted the shot to run smoothly and to make sure we captured the park entirely. What I learnt from using a camera is that I have to remember, when shooting, to make sure I get everything in the shot as some things I wanted were left out. 

I used Premiere Pro to edit the opening sequence of my horror film. I imported all my footage onto there and had to decide which footage I wanted to keep and which I had to cut. Once I did that, I put all my footage together so each cut flowed well with one another. I used effects like red tint and dip to black to show the flashback. We went on YouTube to look at opening horror sequences and listened to the type of music they had used. I then went on a website called 'FreeSound' to find music which would fit our opening sequence. We found a classical type music which we thought would fit our opening sequence quite well. Its also good because it builds up the tension.
